An expressive, emotional and captivating read...
If you’ve been around long enough you begin to realize that you cannot escape yourself. Instead, all parts of you that you perceive as flawed must be looked at square in the eye and healed. Each of these healings gets you closer to a more accepting and peaceful life. There are simply no other routes but straight through your own heart and soul.
A Dress The Color of The Sky by Jennifer Irwin is a wonderfully written and richly descriptive adult novel. The author weaves a well-crafted story with emotional highs and lows that will captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. Skillfully constructed, this biographical fiction revolves around the main character Prudence (Prue), set against the backdrop of sexual abuse and addiction.
There’s no doubt that A Dress The Color of The Sky is an exceptionally well-written book. However, it must be said that this story is not for the faint-hearted or easily offended. The author’s script at times is razor-sharp and will cut deep into the emotions of its reader. There are scenes of a sexual nature. Nevertheless, the themes and outcome are just as affecting in the arresting contemporary landscape of sexual addiction.
This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a mesmerizing journey.
Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.
